What is it with civil libertarians and Twitter ?

I love the whole argument that so many people have (and I share) that ID cards, CCTV cameras and many other things the government want to use to track us are infringing our rights, yet then so many of these people then get Twitter, which seems to be a system to allow people to snoop in to your life and let everyone know where you are, what you are doing, what you had for tea, and is the very antithesis of the privacy argument.

I know that people can volunteer what information they put on to Twitter and I know that it does not do any harm, and I also know I will get people shouting me down for saying this, but it just seems to be at odds with the whole privacy argument.
